I hope this doesn't offend you; I'm saying it in the hopes that it will make you feel better. Your acne is not bad. Seriously. I wouldn't even notice it. I feel like that's the normal amount of acne guys have. If they don't, they haven't hit puberty yet, lol. Seriously...slightly rougher skin that's not baby smooth is what makes you look like a man instead of a boy. That said, Tazorac works. Just chill and let it do its job. It will take a few months, and you'll still have acne. But it will be a huge improvement. Use only a pea size amount only at night and feel free to take a break for a day or two if your skin feels awful and irritated.
